Squirrel Meat

I was looking through my many photos, trying to find something to share... how to group them? how to make little photo-essays to entertain and amuse? Having failed to be inspired... sometimes a lot of photos remains just that, a lot of photos, for a while, but I did find this inexplicable offering, worthy of a post.

Tastes like chicken? Does this explain those little brown-paper-wrapped packages people were sneaking out of the establishment?

If a horsemeat shop is a chevalerie, would this be a écureuilerie? Inquiring minds would like to know.
